Full Agenda here: https://ccc.bc.edu/content/ccc/international-corporate-citizenship-confe...
We are beyond excited to bring you all—practitioners of CSR and ESG—back together for another enlightening and inspiring event. This year's conference theme is "One," which so perfectly captures the spirit of our field as well as the reason we gather, year after year—to make our one world better, more sustainable, and more equitable. Together we focus on the work and where it's headed. One represents unity, cohesion, shared purpose—nothing could be a truer description of our corporate citizenship community. But One can also be singular—one idea, one project, one step in a better direction. Big and small, these individual “ones” are the stuff worth sharing, unpacking, celebrating, learning how to replicate and scale. That’s what the International Corporate Citizenship Conference is all about. As a CSR professional, you belong here because you’re a part of the collective One. But make no mistake, it’s your individual efforts: your case study examples, your breakout session questions, your conference notebook full of notes on next steps… that drive this show and make it worth having. And that’s why you should meet us this year in Memphis.
Who typically attends the International Corporate Citizenship Conference?
All attendees work in some facet of corporate social responsibility, whether it's community relations, corporate giving, DE&I, sustainability, health equity, corporate communications, employee volunteering/engagement, etc. Many attendees bring multiple team members from the same firm, as the Conference provides ample opportunity to network and learn; also different topics are available during the Breakout Session intervals. For a look at which companies requested an early registration alert, visit our Who Should Attend? page.
About: What is BCCCC?
We’re a corporate membership organization dedicated to advancing corporate social responsibility (CSR), alongside ESG performance and disclosure.
In case you're wondering, here is the distinction between CSR and ESG, along with how corporate citizenship fits in.
We combine the most valuable aspects of a professional network and the resources of a leading academic institution. Our membership includes 500+ socially responsible companies and over 10,000 individual professionals from companies around the world. Our Center is housed within the Boston College Carroll School of Management. Our purpose is to help people in companies get better results from environmental, social, and governance efforts by supporting their decision making with empirical evidence, and offering real-time peer support.
I am not an employee of a for-profit company. Can I register for #BCConf24?
It depends. The Conference is designed as a safe space for corporate CSR/ESG practitioners, which means we do not allow for vendors, consultants, news media, or nonprofits. We will, however, make some exceptions for employees of nonprofit healthcare organizations, credit unions, and consulting firms that have a dedicated corporate citizenship/sustainability department within their organizations.
Who is sponsoring the event?
FedEx is the convening sponsor of this year's event, and we are thrilled to meet them in their hometown. The Conference is made possible thanks to the generous contributions of many additional sponsors. Check back for a full #BCConf24 Sponsors page. If your company is interested in Conference sponsorship opportunities, please contact us here.
